Field help (PTHCPRCOE)

The management of landed costs makes it possible to quantify the routing costs of the goods ordered from a supplier and to allocate them to the products upon order, receipt or invoice. These costs are used for the calculation of the purchase cost and stock cost.
The evaluation of these costs can be performed according to one of the two following methods:

• global method in which a Landed cost coefficient is applied and/or a Fixed cost per unit is taken into account,
• method in which a set of costs detailed in a cost structure is taken into account.

Only one method can be used, the choice of this method is performed at the level of the product management.

The management of this field depends on the method used to determine the landed costs and on the entry transaction used. When it can be entered, the landed cost coefficient must be greater than or equal to 1.
It is used to impact the order price of the receipt by including costs that have been previously estimated.
Upon receipt of the supplier invoice, the landed costs impacted on the stock can be adjusted with the actual costs identified in the supplier invoice if the valuation method of the product authorizes adjustments and if parameter PIHCPR - Invoice price adjustment also authorizes it.

• Upon direct receipt, this information is initialized with the landed cost coefficient entered for the storage site of the product-supplier or, if this is not possible, with the one entered in the Product-supplier record.
  If there is no product-supplier record, the coefficient entered in in the "Supply" section of the Product record is considered instead.
   
• Upon order receipt, this information is initialized with the landed cost coefficient of the order.

The landed cost amount calculated is displayed from the Actions menu, by right-clicking "Line cost" (in the "Cost detail" section, "Undetailed costs” grid).
